A White Christmas!

On Christmas morning we woke to the white covered ground and a tree surrounded by tons of presents. The boys were so excited to see what Santa had brought them. Cameron was great about opening presents. He would open one and keep going because he was excited to see the next one. He even opened several of Hudson's presents because he didn't care to open any after he opened his Buzz Lightyear action figure. I think Cameron's favorite thing was the Batcave that Grammy and Papa Curt gave him.

After lunch we were suppose to go up to Tulsa for Christmas dinner and spending the Holiday with Dan's family, but we ended up staying home because the roads were too icy in Oklahoma. Since I hadn't bought anything to make for Christmas dinner, Dan ran to Jack in the Box, pretty much the only place open. We think we might actually make this a Christmas tradition. It sure would be a lot easier on me. We had a wonderful day as a family, and Cameron is already talking about next Christmas.

Snowy Christmas Eve

It started snowing today and according to the meterologist this would probably the only time in our lives we'd have snow on Christmas Eve or a White Christmas. So we had to take advantage of it, even though the wind was blowing like crazy. As soon as we got outside Cameron wanted to go back in because it was so windy, but Hudson was having a blast sticking his tongue out catching snowflakes. We went inside to go to the front and Hudson started balling because he wanted to stay outside, but instantly calmed down once he knew his time in the snow wasn't over. Cameron then started throwing snowballs and having more fun like his brother. Then we all ran in to get hot chocolate and warm up.

Cookies

A couple of weeks ago we made cookies for Santa with the help of the boys. They weren't the prettiest sugar cookies, but they were edible and didn't last long so we had to make more for Santa. On Christmas Eve, the boys set out chocolate chip cookies and egg nog for Santa. Of course the boys had to make sure everything was edible for Santa, so Hudson licked a cookie and Cameron stole a bite from one. Then both of them washed it down with some of Santa's egg nog. Cameron was left with an egg nog stash when he was done. Then it was off to read the "Night before Christmas" and be tucked away in bed in hopes that Christmas would hurry on it's way.

Gaylord Hotel

On Saturday the 19th, we headed to the Gaylord Texan to check out the decorations with Grammy. The boys loved the choo-choo trains and the giant gingerbread house. You could hear both of them yelling choo-choo! We stood in line to see Santa and were expecting Hudson to cry like last time. He started too, but the photographer knew just what to do and had Hudson cracking up along with Cameron. Since the photo turned out so good, Grammy had to buy one of the cutest boys in the world! Hopefully, we'll have it up soon. I only got a few pics of the boys before my camera died. I was so disappointed I didn't get more because their expressions were priceless.

Big boys!

The boys are getting so BIG!! They love playing with each other now, which means more refereeing for me. Hudson wants to do everything his brother does including eating the same things like a whole apple. But one instance Hudson was doing something that Cameron decided he wanted to do too. Hudson got a train station house and placed it on the floor. Then with incredible balance he climbed on top and stood there like the statue of liberty. The reason this was incredible is because Hudson's feet are so big they were hanging off the roof of the building, but somehow he would manage to stay standing up for minutes. Of course after seeing Hudson accomplish something he's never tried, Cameron had to try it too.

Visiting Santa

I was brave and attempted to have the boys pictures taken with Santa early. Cameron did great. The only downside was he still had a little bit of a black eye from running into Hudson's head. Hudson however, screamed his head off. Santa was extremely frightening to him and no amount of jumping around and acting crazy on my behalf would get a smile out of him.

Trim the Tree

Due to me being under the weather this year, Dan did a lot of decorating the tree with the help of our two boys. They did a great job. Cameron liked to hang several ornaments on one branch and Hudson liked to take them off. You can tell he got busted for it in the picture below!
